Not that many (any?) will care, but installing/upgrading to 9.5 under Win98 appears to be a bad idea... Effects (you get warned about that), Speed Dial, Aspell connectivity all broke. And all in the first five minutes. That was enough for me to roll back.

I've loved Opera ever since I first downloaded it. I've used it for quite a while till I started using Firefox. Opera 9.5 certainly processes Web Pages faster than it's predecessors. It's new Black Skin is really awesome. Nice work from the Opera team.

I'm not blaming Opera, just trying to spare Win98 users grief.

Yes, but did you test on Windows 95 or ME?

Heh, Windows 95 is 13 years old, Windows 98 is ten, and I understand there are still some users of those versions. However, most developers feel that with such a low percentage of Win9x users these days, updates for older OSes are no longer justified. The same thing can be said for Mac OS 9 and older.

Windows ME... as for that, I have nothing to say, nothing at all. Let's all try to forget about WinME.
